As I tell my Republican co-worker, Obama will solve all the problems that the clusterfuck known as the Bush Administration has foisted on America, turning us into a second rate world power with a government hated and despised the world over.
I never thought I'd hear debates about how much Americans can torture their POWs, for christ sake! We're America, not some South American drug cartel.
Look what we've become in 8 short years.
Bush and his handlers have managed to eat up our economic surplus, plunge us into devastating debt, sink us into at least two never-ending wars that have cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and are leading us to $4 a gallon fuel oil and gasoline prices while the value of the dollar drops like never before. All this while they made themselves wealthier and put the wood to the nations poor and middle class, giving the tax breaks to the wealthiest few. They also failed to protect us from financial institutions that used unscrupulous policies that have created the most serious housing foreclosure crisis since the Great Depression.
I am so much worse off financially than I was eight years ago.
I'm exaggerating a bit, of course. I know Obama won't solve all our problems, and I know that Bush can't be blamed for all our problems either. BUT Obama gives me a sense of hope that I might be proud of my country's government once again.
